ABOUT ADV ERTISING.

There is nothing so little under
stood as the value of an advertisement.
The value is almost invariably in pro-
portion to the circulation given it..
The object of the advertiser is to make
his business known as extensively as
possible among those whose patronage
he solicits. If one paper makes that
business known to five hundred read
ers, and another to five thousand, the
latter is worth to the advertiser Just
ten times as much as the former and
get very large majority of advertis-
ers don't know one difference, and i'm
agine they save money by getting the
cheapest advertising There is another
matter just as little understood; we
mean the cost of the advertisement to
the publisher. That cost is nearly in
proportion to the circulation. This
cost consists in composition, in press
work, in paper, in mailing, IN wear
and tear of type, press, DC. The first
item is much the smallest, for an ad-
vertisement to continue any length of
time, and the cost Of this is just the
same, no matter what the circulation.
But all the other items, constituting,
generally, mere than nine-tenths Of
the whole cost, increase fast In pro
portion to the circulation. That is,
one paper having ten times the circu-
lation of another has to pay about ten
times as much for press; work, paper,
work of mailing, and wear and tear OF
material, and were the two papers to
charge the same for the same adver-
tisement, the more largely circulated
paper would lose money by the opera
ton, while the other would make large
profit. The SESTINEL's charges are
in proportion to its circulation.

AN exchange in one Of the largest
towns of North Carolina complains of
the poor streets in that city. 1t is
right in saying that no commercial
town can make progress until its
streets are well paved. Nothing adds
more to the value of city than we'll
paved streets, and the money is well
invested when it is spent in the i'm
provement of city's thoroughfares.

PULLING TOGETHER.
WORKING SYSTEMATICALL AND
VIGOROUSLY.

Efforts that Will Brighten sa1isbury's
Business Future-Some Practical Hints
for Winston.
The more progressive men of Sails
bury have organized Themselves into
an Improvement association, and have
gone vigorously to work to boom the
old town in way that will make
some of the old moss-backs look on
with amazement. The association has
been working up cotton factory
scheme, the shares of which are fixed
at S25, to be paid in weekly install
ments of % cents share, or for large
amounts note to be given for the
whole, payable in ninety days from
the time the subscriber is called upon
by the directors.
It seems that the association selects
some subject to discuss at each regu-
lar gathering; for example, at a
recent meeting the feasibility of build
ing furniture mandatory was dis
cussed and committee appointed to
ascertain the extent of the furniture
business of Salisbury. They inter-
viewed every dealer in the place and
found that during the past year $685.
900 worth of furniture was sold in
that market and the committee in
their report expressed the opinion
that fully that amount had been sent to
other cities for furniture, of a style
and price not usually kept for sale in
Salisbury. Considering the fact that
Rowan county has in her forests large
quantities of the most popular hard
woods, such as walnut, maple, ash,
yellow poplar and every variety of
oak and gum, with saw mills in every
direction furnishing this lumber at
prices less than are now being paid in
any other market in the United States,
the committee naturally conclude that
an extensive and we'll organized fur
niture factory in Salisbury would nor
only vastly increase the local trade
there, but command large patron
age from abroad, and make fair, if
not handsome returns to the proprie-
tors. The cost of living, says the re-
port, the price and abundance Of good
labor, good water, moderate climate,
low taxes, faithfully executed laws,
besides the advantages of schools and
churches of all denominations, all COM
bine to assure the party who will I'M
dertake such an enterprise.
There is not an argument above but
could be advanced in Winston's favor
just as forcibly.
At another meeting committee
was appointed to correspond with GER
tain parties looking to their establish
ing a smoking tobacco factory in Sails.
bury; another committee was chosen
to investigate the subject of tanneries
and subject for discussion at an early
meeting of the association, SO Sails
bury gentleman informs us, is the es
tablishment of a daily newspaper

interests of the place at heart. Another
committee appointed was one to in

TRUE DEMOCRATS ENDORSED.

\ mass meeting on the eighth
first day of the Circuit Court in
Hardy, when a large crowd was
present, adopted nine resolutions
endorsing most heartily and in the
most unqualified terms the conduct
of the twelve who defeated Mr.. Cam
den. The resolution says:
We are opposed to the reelection
of Senator Camden and Senators
Flournoy and Price and Delegate
Chipley voiced our sentiments BY
their action in the Legislature.
II viii be a remarkable sight ifJef-
ferson county does not display as
much devotion to the cause of true
Democracy as Hardy county. Hardy
county has endorsed and stands by
her representatives who carried out
the pledges they made to the people.

same thing and shall we 90 back on
them? Let the people beware oftne

US that Price, Flournoy ChipIey and
Fugb are heartily ehdprscd.
Since the above EAs put in type
we have D letter from a gentlemen,
present at both meetings, who in
forms us that the second meeting
was a mere farce and the minority
resolutions only received ten votes
out of 70 Democrats present. The
first meeting was composed of repre-
sentative Democrats from every Sec
ton of the county, There were over
It's present, and there we're only 4
votes against any resolution.
THE MINORITY RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, At a meeting held in
the Court House on the Sth inst. res
olutions we're adopted which may be
construed to represent the views OF
the Democrats of Hardy county, and
inasmuch as it is the purpose of the
authors and managers of said meet
ing to publish its proceedings in all
the Democratic papers of the State,
and, whereas, said resolutions con-
tain serious charges against the con-
duet of certain houored and esteem
ed members Of the Democratic
party, therefore be it
Resolred, BY this meeting of
Democrats:
1st. That the Democratic masses
of Hardy county are not represent
ed by the deliverances of said meet
ing, and that we as Democrats dis
claim any connection with, or re-
sponsibility for, said resolutions;
and that we do most heartily con-
denim and disapprove OF them as
means tending to provoke further
discord and inharmony within the
ranks of the party.
Ind. We declare our faithful adj
herence to the principles and usages
of the Democratic party, and we dis
approve Of all acts of the party's
representatives, whether official or
otherwise, which lead to the subver
sion of the right of majority TO
rule.
3rd. An extra session of the Leg
islature will greatly increase the
burden of an already overtaxed peo-
pie, and the condemnation of the
tax payers should rest upon who.
ever may be justly held responsible
for its necessity.
4th. That these resolutions be
published in the Moorefield Exam
iaer, and the editors of other Demo
cratic papers in this State, who pub.
lished the proceedings Of the meet
ing held in this place on the sth
inst, be also requested to publish
these resolutions.

CAUCUS EXPOSED.

The Revolution was war of the
people against the crown. Thomas
jefferson took the side ofsthc people.
The people won.
The late Senatorial contest in our
Legislature was struggle between
the people and monopoly. TheJef-
fersonian Democracy, represented by
the historic Twelve, took the side of
the people On one side was the in
fluence of combined monopoly and
the expectation of Federal appoint
ment. On the other side nothing
but a desire TO act for the best in
terests of the people. Thus far the
people have won and Jeffersonian
Democracy triumphs. The caucus
dogma for once in this State has
been downed as it long since ought to
have been. Organization is us essen
tial in political parties rs in any
other association formed to carry for
ward important principles. But
such organization should be effected
by the people themselves in mass
meetings where citizens act in their
individual capacity and not in an
official capacity. Such is the place
to organize; such is the place to
formulate doctrines and to select
candidates who will be opponents of
the doctrines thus formulated. I'm
der such process if majority Of
the Legislature be Democrats and
come to elect Senator they will
choose a proper person. No member
has any right to vote for any man to
whom his constituents are opposed.
He takes an oath to faithfully dis
charge the duties of his office and
the most important of those duties
is the duty to represent Ito present
q second time) the wishes of his
constituents as those wishes vera
pre- scented to him at the polls. lie
has no moral or legal right to per-
nit caucus, or anything else, to
stifle the voice or thwart the vote he
! is sworn to give. He has neither
/ the legal nor the moral right to per
form any official act except on the
responsibility of his own conscience
and his own Judgment. He has no
right to subordinate his own con-
science to the dictates of some I'M
official body. The fundamental
| idea of our system of government is,
that each member of Legislature
will represent the views of his own
local constituency. He has no right
to do any official act except in the
manner prescribed by the law of the
State and by that Constitution he is
sworn to obey.
But the Office holding managers
in this State and their servile fol
lowers Ito whom the Chestnut Bell

the foregoing ideas, not by argu-
ment, but, by crying out, BOLTER,

sible men. The most time honored
custom is to abandon anything that
initiates against thepublic interest.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
the rocks.

i
During the last month three
things occurred and either of them,
twenty years ago, would have set the
people wild with excitement because
alarmed for the near future.
FIRST. The Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany, Of only five men, by combina-
tion obtained complete control of the
manufacture and sale of the entire
cotton seed product in eleven States
which is worth annually $50, 100000,
and as soon as this combination was
made the price of cotton seed was
squeezed down from $1450 to 80
ton.
SECOND. Mr.. Camden, who, every
one admits, could not be elected by
a direct vote Of the people, by means
of money and corporate influence
held this State at bay for forty-fiye
days and. prevented any election of
Senator.
THIRD. A secret deal was made
and combination was perfected
wereby one railway corporation was
to swallow up several others, so that
one central company would control
10000 miles of track with a yearly
income of $250,OOO,0OO and with
outstanding securities for Sl,125,-
100000 This combination has been
delayed q little while but will go
through before summer and then .
single corporation will control the
highways upon which 100000 of
people and all their farm products
are dependent.
With these three events happening
under our eyes and within less than
a month it is now proposed by intel
ligent men in Jefferson to send to
the Legislature q man who will sup
port the ideas and methods repre-
scented by Mr.. Camden.

Of Whist IS called a-cangus.-( This
proposition will never SUCCEED before
the people. This is the effect of the
position taken BY Mr. Vanmcter.

Malone adopted in Virginia. BY
this doctrine the millionaire lord

prOach.

This is a canvass for ideas, not for
men. Let us nominate for the Leg,
islature the man who best represents
the ideas which actuated those who
resisted Mr.. Camden's election.
We are not in favor of any candi-
date whose conduct in the Legisla-
ture will be influenced by desire to
advance the personal fortunes of any
individual. If the contest for Sena-
tor becomes a struggle between self
seeking politicians, all equally ready
to betray the principles they profess,
then we are done with il.

HARDY SPEAKS.

On the first day of the Circuit
Court March Sth) the Democrats
of Hardy held = mass meeting. Sen
ator Flournoy and Delegate Chipley
made speeches and Mr.. Sprigg offer
ed the following resolutions which
were adopted:
IN. B.-We find them in the InteVi-
gencer of the 18th, but not in the Register.
Will the Register saw why it did not
print them?l
FIRsT-That the power of appoint
ment pertaining to any office is not
q personal right to be administered
in the interest or to promote the re-
election or advancement of the indi.
vidual holding it, but is a public
trust to be exercised for the benefit
of the people BY faithful and hon
est discharge of the duties of the
office
SEcoND-That the Senators and
Representatives in Congress arc in
no true sense the representatives of
the people in regard to filling Fed
cral Offices but only in discharging
the duties pertaining TO the legisla-
tive department; and their recon-
mendations of persons for office are
entitled to no more weight than
those of other citizens of equal char
acter and intelligence and means of
information.
THIRD-That the time and atten-
ton Of the members of the Senate
and House of Representatives should
